[Bug 446146] Re: Several Huawei USB dongle don't work with kernel 2.6.31-12.40 (2.6.31.1 update related)

[Russell Faull]

Latest kernel (2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 16:20:31 UTC
2009 i686 GNU/Linux) seems to make no improvement to the reliability of
connection with my e169. I get maybe 40-50% first-time connections.

But I did find the information on this helpful
(http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=47200).

Basically, if your modem does not connect, do ls -la /dev/ttyU*. If that
reports no such file or directlory, load the usb-serial module with sudo
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1001 (change the product=* to
suit your modem).

ls -la /dev/ttyU* should now report at least /dev/ttyUSB0 and Network
Manager will connect. (If you use wicd and wvdial/gnome-ppp, manually
start connection.)

You may still have problems with DNS (it seems connected but won't reach
a web address), if so, disconnect any wireless networks and restart your
mobile broadband. For me It help to have the DNS addresses listed under
the IPv4 settings tab.
